Description Graeme Hewson 2012-11-02 15:52:43 UTC 
When paging down in Konqueror and Rekonq, about five lines of the previous page are shown on the following page. In Konquerer with KHTML, only about one line overlaps. I think five lines are too much, and are a distraction; I much prefer to use KHTML for this reason.

Of course, the number of lines varies with the font size and screen resolution, but it's not too far wrong to talk about 5 and 1 generally.

Could the overlap be reduced or made configurable?

Interestingly, Chrome on Kubuntu and Windows has an overlap of five lines, but on OSX has an overlap of one line. This is with exactly the same versions of Chrome and WebKit. Safari on OSX also has an overlap of one line.

This needs to be reported upstream to the QtWebKit developers since there is nothing we can do about it here. See http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitBugs. If you do choose to report it upstream, please add the link to that bug report here.
